I am back on my blog

Well, hello friends.
It's been a while.
And by that, I mean it's been almost 18 months since my last post on here.

I am sorry, I truly am.

Due to personal changes in my life I had just been unable to process any photos, write any blogs or engage meaningfully with my photography for the past 2 years. The main reason has been me studying towards an MBA and focusing on my career (which is not full-time photography, surprisingly). The level of effort required to do well in an MBA while carrying on your normal work and raising a family, combined with the amount of screen-time I was having, resulted in me using the free/spare time I did have for relaxation, family-time or sleeping!

I am on the back-end now. A few more months and this season will be behind me. How do they say? The only constant in life, is change.

My photography has not totally stagnated, though. I have been able to sneak away to a couple of short trips to the Kruger National Park and the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park, as I am accustomed to doing for my normal family vacation safaris. I had to put on hold any hospitality services and photographic guiding, and hope to be able to rekindle that in the near future.

For now - rest assured that I will be rekindling my love of telling wildlife stories, sharing photographic knowledge and engaging in meaningful conservation conversations both here on my blog and on my various social media channels. You would have noticed a spike in my activity on Instagram and Facebook over the last week or two as well.


Here's to more photography, and getting back to doing the things we love!

  1. Welcome back, you've been missed. But I see it is for a good cause. Congrats on going after your MBA, I can imagine the "time-pulls" on you doing that.

    Glad to see you back, but only come back when you can spare the time from the priorities
